I am seriously shocked by the announcement myself. I am a photographer myself (www.dylikowski.com) and I am currently using a mid 2015 rMBP 15" that is maxed out. I remember that when I was waiting for it to come out, the community was certain it is going to be a Skylake, but it was not the case. Fine, I decided to get it as I really needed it and I am very happy with the performance. I like Apple because it works and for it's aesthetics and simplicity. But! I am totally shocked by what they have announced:
1. Same 16 GB maximum? Well, we are talking a machine that should work for another 3-5 years
2. No USB and HDMI? I am using HDMI to connect to TV and naturally I am using USB ports for my flash drives and LaCee HDs. No dongles, a simplicity of form and use
3. 500$ more expensive? But why?
They should have added a newer Intel processor and more RAM instead of removing critical ports. And yet, it costs 500$ more. Unbelievable arrogance, blindness and greed.
